Don't Break The Silence

Don't break the silence.
Keep quiet.
Cry when you're alone.
Don't let others see your pain.
When you're around them
Paste a smile on your face.

Sob silently.
Scream only in your head.
Hold on until you're alone.
Don't cry for help.
You'll always be let down.

Create a shell
That only you can break.
Tell yourself you'll be ok.
Live for others not for you.
Others matter, you don't.

Seek comfort in the darkness.
Scream let it out.
Only if you're alone.
Don't let others see your pain.
Don't let them see your tears.

Slowly die inside,
But outside look alive.
Write down your feelings
When you're not alright
But they don't matter,
So burn them and keep going through life.
Dead inside,
But look alive for others.
Not for you.
You don't matter.
Others do.
